We have successfully compiled ImageMagick with Visual C++ 2005. Its possible we had to comment out the afxwin.h include file, not sure though.

Only the ImageMagickObject require MFC. Its an optional contributed project and is not necessary to build/install ImageMagick unless of course your project requires the ImageMagickObject for VBS or ASP.

ImageMagickObject is built with the BuildImageMagickObject script. Don't run the script. The rest of ImageMagick should build fine since it does not depend on MFC.

Ok, you are right. We have a configure program that builds the VisualStudio C++ project and the configure program looks like it requires MFC. We probably should include a default workspace in the ImageMagick distribution for VisualStudio Express users. For now, it looks like you'll need VisualStudio 6.0, VisualStudio 2003 or VisualStudio 2005 to build ImageMagick from source.
